Antonia Juhasz
Antonia Juhasz is the Director of the Energy Program[1] at Global Exchange, a San Francisco-based human rights non-profit organization. She is a policy-analyst, author and activist.
Juhasz is the author of The Tyranny of Oil: the World's Most Powerful Industry and What We Must Do To Stop It, and The Bush Agenda: Invading the World One Economy at a Time. Her new book, "Black Tide: the Devastating Impact of the Gulf Oil Spill" will be published by Wiley in April 2011. Juhasz is also the lead author and editor of The True Cost of Chevron: An Alternative Annual Report, 2009 and 2010 editions.[2] The explanation of the report on the report's website is: "Chevron's 2008 annual report is a glossy celebration of the company's most profitable year in its history. What Chevron's annual report does not tell its shareholders is the true cost paid for those financial returns, or the global movement gaining voice and strength against Chevron's abuses. Thus, we, the communities and their allies who bear the consequences of Chevron's operations, have prepared an alternative annual report of Chevron entitled 'The True Cost of Chevron'."
